    After the smack down the Mad Russian was putting on Bradley I am interested in your thoughts on this scheduled epic fight.

    Mike is tough :| but the RUSSIAN IS A KILLER:bbb
    He had Bradley KTFO on his feet:nut

    They are still just talking smack so no news if it happens, which I hope it will, but I would guess 140:smoke

    147 Provodnikov stops him looks strong at the weight
    140 probably Alvarado decision but Alvarado isnt all that he was losing to Prescott, Rios just played right into him and took him 2 times to do it

    The fight will most likely take place at 140 pounds for Alvarado's interim title. Provodnikov is a rugged come forward fighter but I doubt he'll be able to take Alvarado's punches for twelve rounds. Alvarado has been in some hard-fought fights lately so we'll see how much he has left in the tank. The key for him is to use quick combinations and side to side movement much like in the second Rios fight. I think he wins by either late stoppage or unanimous decision but no one should count Provodnikov out.

    Provo will do well against Alvarado, should be a really exciting fight. This fight could go either way............

    Speaking of Alvarado , Didnt his face look like hell in the rematch ? and Rios looked as if he was only in a 1 rnd fight .

    It will be at 140...Prov need to have a good camp to make weight easily...He should hire a nutritionist if he does'nt have one.

    Alvarado can box Provodnikov like he did vs Rios and Bradley in the majority of rounds 3 to 11 minus 30 seconds of round 6 dominated Provodnikov with movement and combination punching even cut Ruslan and Roach considered stopping it

    Alvarado can out maneuver Provodnikov and jab him and keep him out of range

    But Provodnikov is very dangerous, caught Bradley early while Bradley was still warming up and caught Bradley late as he was tiring. Though he did gas in the middle rounds as his out put dipped from failing to get Bradley out of there

    Fight has many possibilities

    Alvarado looked good against rios because rios is there to be hit. Ruslan can fight on the outside, If the fight goes to the cards I will be shocked. Ko coming for sure, who will go down first?

    depends

    if he doesn't do what Timmy did and try to brawl with Ruslan, he might pound out a decision

    if he decides to brawl, he will get KTFO'd

    Bradley was EASILY beating Prov when he was boxing circles around him, ONLY when Bradley stood in front of Prov to put on a show for the fans did Prov hurt Bradley. Prov only has a punchers chance, Mike is smart he won't gamble like Bradley, too fast, too big for Prov. Mike has his own ko power too, as long as he keeps Prov at bay and even if it went toe to toe Prov isn't really an inside fighter either. He stands straight up with his chin out. Mike should win a clear decision here.
